摘要:
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rate and duration of return to work in patients undergoing distal triceps repair (DTR). Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing DTR from 2009 to 2017 at our institution were retrospectively reviewed at a minimum of 1 year postoperatively. Patients completed a standardized and validated work questionnaire; a visual analog scale for pain; the Mayo Elbow Performance Score; the short version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire; and a satisfaction survey. Results: Of 113 eligible patients who underwent DTR, 81 (71.7%) were contacted. Of these patients, 74 (91.4%) were employed within 3 years prior to surgery (mean age, 46.0 +/- 10.7 years; mean follow-up, 5.9 +/- 3.9 years). Sixty-nine patients (93.2%) returned to work by 2.2 +/- 3.2 months postoperatively. Sixty-six patients (89.2%) were able to return to the same level of occupational intensity. Patients who held sedentary-, light-, medium-, and high-intensity occupations were able to return to work at a rate of 100.0%, 100.0%, 80.0%, and 76.9%, respectively, by 0.3 +/- 0.5 months, 1.8 +/- 1.5 months, 2.5 +/- 3.6 months, and 4.8 +/- 3.9 months, respectively, postoperatively. Of the workers' compensation patients, 15 (75%) returned to work by 6.5 +/- 4.3 months postoperatively, whereas 100% of non-workers' compensation patients returned to work by 1.1 +/- 1.6 months (P <.001). Seventy-one patients (95.9%) were at least somewhat satisfied, with 50 patients (67.6%) reporting excellent satisfaction. Seventy-two patients (97.3%) would undergo the operation again if presented the opportunity. A single patient (1.4%) required revision DTR. Conclusions: Approximately 93% of patients who underwent DTR returned to work by 2.2 +/- 3.2 months postoperatively. Patients with higher-intensity occupations had an equivalent rate of return to work but took longer to return to their preoperative level of occupational intensity. Information regarding return to work is imperative in preoperative patient consultation to manage expectations.
